Much is being made right now of Romney having a Swiss bank account, not having released all his tax records, and his offshore holdings. Is it fair and right to expect him to release all that information to the public?
 
All politicians should have to reveal their financial holdings so voters can discover sedition.
 
I don't think it really matters to be honest with you.

Whether he does or not makes no difference to me, it's the policies he wants to implement that I have a problem with.

If he is sticking money in over sears bank accounts to avoid paying taxes then its fair game for other people to expose.But I do find the anti-rich sentiment of the left to be amusing seeing how there is not one middle-class or poor person in the senate or congress.
 
Yes, because that has become a standard request of all presidential candidates since I can remember... and I can't recall any who refused... and won. :)

I think he should release whatever is customary -- whatever the last three presidents have done, as an example...erring on the side of more disclosure is better than less. It's not that hard. Here's my 35-pound 1040 Etc for 2011...here's my 35-pound 1040 Etc for 2010...etc.

I think we should all remember, however, that none of us would even know about his Swiss bank account had he chosen not to reveal it.

Well, sorta. He was pushed into releasing some tax information by his oponents during the primaries, which is where the record os the bank account came into the open. He did not do it willingly.
 
no one really objectively cares--but the class warfare dems know that running on Obama's pathetic record is a sure fire loser so they divert by demanding this stuff so they can pander to the low wattage minions who are upset that anyone is wealthy

Absolutely its fair and I feel the same about Obama's finances and I would feel the same about any democat or Gop candidate for President.
If you want to be President of the United States you can expect to give up alot of your privacy.
He needs to declare it and truthfully

lets see obama's college record and whether he was at occidental as a foreign student. and his grades-lots of people wonder how he got into Columbia, how he paid for it and how he got into Harvard Law when he was not listed as an Honors (or higher) graduate of Columbia

Oh thats crap...every other candidate for president was asked the same questions...FROM BOTH SIDES turtle not just democrats
If you want to be president of the united states...how you made your money, what youve done with it and how your hiding it to avoid taxs should be public knowledge, because it reflects on your character and gives the voters a basis to judge the rest of what comes out of your mouth.....and it goes for all candidates not just republicans...if roles were reversed you would be clammering from atop the sears building for obama to give it up...

Sigh, there ya go..off on another unrelated tangent...were talking financial disclosure here...YES Obama should give full disclosure just like mitt romney....what are you going to use next turtle...Oh I know...Romney wont release his financials where hes hiding his money to avoid taxs...and you will want to see obama birth certificate right ? or something

so do people really need to know or do they want to do that to try to find dirt or whine?

I couldn't care less-his policies and who he will appoint matters to me. I am intelligent enough to know that if Romney has lots of money that is not a negative. The butthurt losers however want to whine that romney is Rich

it doesn't reflect on character unless what he has done is ILLEGAL . the character it reflects on are the envious little pricks who think being successful is a crime and disqualifies someone from being president. I got news for the whiners. Poor people don't get nominated for president. Obama, win lose or resigns, is gonna make more in a MONTH after he leaves office than someone like you is going to make in several years.

So you do not understand the difference between financial records and college records? That is kinda sad....

If Romney didn't try to avoid taxes I'd find him too stupid to vote for

Absolutely, he should follow the standard his father followed when he ran for president. It should be required for all candidates especially those running for POTUS.

why do you ask such moronic questions? The fact is, if you Obama fans are so hell bent on getting one form of IRRELEVANT records why don't you demand your boy release other IRRELEVANT RECORDS.

The people demanding this aren't going to vote for Romney anyway--its a ploy to get the weak-minded upset

Thanks for acknowledging you think hes a crook and a sleeze :) thats precisely im not going to vote for him...a tax dodger that wants more tax cuts for all his rich buddies...I consider anyone that doesnt make over 300k that votes for romney to stupid to vote

your arguments get more pathetic by the hour. You aren't going to vote for him because you have a hard on for those who are more successful than you think one should be. You have been seduced by the leftwing elites who want you to hate Romney for being successful so you vote them more power and wealth

You are the perfect pawn for the rich dem class warfare strategy--you don't care about the country or the policies --you just don't want wealthy people to do well

and how does that help you objectively? it doesn't but you cannot handle others doing well
 
why???????????????
WHY NOT?? Its part of the vetting process, that's why. The people want to know.

BTW, did you vote twice in the poll? Once while logged into DP and once not logged on? Be honest? :roll:

Nope and your arguments are totally redundant...I am not going to restate my position for the 100th time for you....but I will say this

THE THREAD IS ABOUT...Financial disclosure...not birth certificates or everything else you try to make it to be to avoid admitting that ROMNEY SHOULD just like everyone else give FULL disclosure....but all your posts are to try and deflect from that unarguable fact.

you fail-what exactly is important about it to you.

I only voted once-quit making stupid accusations

the butt hurt envious losers are being pandered to by rich dems who are going to feign indignation over Romney being wealthy-just like the Kennedys, Kohls, Rockefellers, Boxers, Feinswines, Etc

SO do you think there are any records a presidential candidate should release? Since you feel that you should be the judge of what is relevant or not, what do you consider relevant?
